Other hotel and travel tips
[QUOTE=Steve9696;2560610]I just want to be clear. I'm not talking about getting one of a few potential hotels like traditional Hotwire. I'm talking about getting an exact SPECIFIC hotel at a high discount using the method I gave below. For example give me a city and I will tell you exactly WHICH 3 star hotel you will get for $149 for example. It's worked every time and in different cities. I think they know this loophole exists but don't talk about it.[/QUOTE]Yeah, Steve, I have used the hotwire tip. Ironically, on a computer, hotwire says that you will get one of these three hotels and with the mobile app, they narrow it to two choices.
I will go to [URL]hotels.com[/URL] and use the clues in hotwire (distance to certain sites) to determine which hotel I will get and as you said, Steve, it is easy to find which hotel hotwire refers to. I also like hotwire for rental cars. Well, I did before rental car prices went crazy. There is some kind of car share program, kind of like Airbnb but with cars not homes. I wonder if any one here has tried that and if the prices are sane.
Other tips include going to [URL]Tripadvisor.com[/URL] once you find the hotel you want. Trip advisor will list like a dozen or so hotel sites on its page and sometimes you will have one hotel website that reduces the price up to 30 to 50%. So I will often use [URL]hotels.com[/URL] to find the hotel I want then go to Trip Advisor and see if it is offered cheaper on another website and often it is. The savings has been huge. I booked the Cancun Intercontinental for $100 a night on Trip Advisor versus the $150 a night on IC's own website and even got free breakfast included.
I am a Marriott platinum member and am shooting for Ambassador status next year. Hopefully, once Covid is done, the service will be back up to what it was. A friend of mine warns me that Marriott supports the Mormon church big time (if that bothers you, do not use their hotels) but all I know is every time I am at a Marriott the beds are comfortable (and great for fucking), there is always hot water, and the food is always excellent. Once we see Covid in the rear view mirror, the hotel lounges open up and those with Marriott Platinum and above eat in their VIP lounges for free. These VIP perks really do impress the ladies. I use my Marriott Visa a lot. I think the hotel credit cards offer up better perks than the airline ones do.
If you go to Colombia, you would be hard pressed to find hotels more impressive to women than the Medellin Marriott and the Bogota Marriott. The Medellin Marriott is more of a stickler for guests though. In Bogota, you just have to register the women. Well, I am headed to Bogota, and my points were used up, and I looked at the Bogota Marriott and it was $250 a night. I then saw a prepaid option, and it was only $97 a night so I booked it. Make sure with all hotels now you check out the prepaid option as there can be huge savings.
Another trick I used was on miles. There are not that many airlines that fly to Colombia or have that many flights, but one that does is American Airlines, and they fly direct from Dallas, but I got tired of their fees and restrictions. I used my American Express card points and signed up for British Airways. A one way ticket to Colombia that would have been $80 and 18,000 points on American was $20 and 13,000 points on British Airways, and it is on the same American flight! So I transferred my American Express points to British Airways and booked the ticket. I wonder if this trick could be used with Delta and United partners. I have not checked into that yet.
For my flight back, I looked at flying United to Houston direct. The price was $1500 one way, but it was only $500 if I went through Houston to Dallas. So I plan to "miss" the flight to Dallas. I have noticed this is often the case with Delta in Atlanta and American in Dallas too: a flight with a connection is cheaper than one to the main hub.
With Mexico, I do not recommend this unless it is last minute. In general, flights from American cities do not vary much to Mexico if planned in advance, but with last minute fares, it is best to fly or drive and walk across to a border city (Juarez, Reynosa, or Tijuana) and fly within Mexico. Flights within Mexico, even last minute ones, rarely exceed $200 or $300 whereas last minute flights from the USA can easily cost you $1000. With Mexican airlines, best to worst is Aeromexico, Interjet, Volaris, and then Viva.
And with all Latin America flights, make sure to check what flights cost from Miami or Fort Lauderdale. A lot of the time the airline fare calculators miss a cheap combination like SW air to Fort Lauderdale and say Jetblue to the Latin city of your choice. When I looked at flying to Brazil, connecting in Florida halved the price of the ticket.
And finally for you Colombia aficionados, make sure to check out Wingo Airlines. It is a low cost carrier in Colombia, and I actually liked their planes and service. International flights with Wingo are often half of what Latam or Avianca charges. If you plan it right, you can fly your favorite Colombian chica to Cancun for $250 or so. I do not recommend flying them to Mexico City for the first time though. Customs in CDMX with Colombianas is brutal. After they have been to Mexico once or twice, then I would consider flying them to CDMX.
The women in Cancun on seeking and the escorts charge USA prices so it is cost effective to bring in a Colombiana or Mexican chica to Cancun. If you fly a Latina into Monterrey, Guadalajara, Mexico City, or Tijuana, if someone accused you of bringing sand to the beach, you may have to plead guilty.
What is the point of premium for girls
Maybe this has been asked, and answered, before but I really do nto get what is the point of paying premium for the girls. Do they get any special benefit?
I could not find an explanation on the site, I suspect they get pushed more often to potential daddies, is that it?
